Summary:

Zip code 99301 in Pasco, Washington, is served by 27 public schools across all grade levels, with the vast majority belonging to the Pasco School District, a district that ranks in the bottom 13% statewide.

There are dramatic differences in school performance within the area. Ruth Livingston Elementary is a clear standout, ranking in the 84th percentile for the state with strong test scores, while elementary schools like Captain Gray STEM Elementary and Rowena Chess Elementary rank at the very bottom. Middle schools generally struggle, with Ellen Ochoa Middle School in the 1st percentile, but high schools show a mixed picture: Chiawana Senior High School has a graduation rate well above the state average despite below-average test scores.

Overall, the Pasco School District performs about 19 percentage points below Washington state averages in English, math, and science. A strong pattern exists where schools with higher poverty indicators, measured by free/reduced lunch eligibility, tend to have lower academic performance, though there are exceptions like the successful Ruth Livingston Elementary. Online programs also show mixed results, from the high-performing, small Internet Pasco Academy of Learning to the much lower-performing Pasco Innovative Experiences and e-Learning.
